    Simply looking to duplicate this look, just 4 5100 billies is all it took? This seems like a no brainer!

    How does it ride at your setting? Does the ride quality change if set at 2.25?

    I think the setting is 2.5 not 2.25. And the ride will be very stiff compressing the coil that much. Go with some Eibach springs at 0 or .85 to keep the nice comfy ride.

    I set my 5100s at 2.5 at first and it was to stiff. There wasn't even any brake dive when stopping. I ended up changing it after a couple of weeks at 2.5. I ended up at .85 with 1/2 inch spacer on the driver side and a 1/4 spacer on the passenger side. Much better ride.

    Nice!
    I just helped a friend install some 5100s on his 2013 Tundra it took us about 3 hours. We used some Harbor Freight spring compressors. Suspect... :anonymous:, but they worked.

    I have some 5100's in the rear of my truck for now it feels so much better than the stock TRD shocks.

    Very nice looking truck.

    Did you do it With or Without the Spring compressor?

    Dont even use a spring compressor when doing the 5100's. It will be safer and MUCH easier with this route. Its literally 4 extra easy to get at big ass bolts.

    OP great lookin setup. I rock 5100's at 1.75 as well with a 2in AAL in the rear and love it (i wanted to keep some rake and better load handling)

    dude... looks awesome! I'm one of those guys in the truck market and on the fence for 2nd gen vs 3rd gen (that 3rd gen thread is nuts haha) BUT either way this is exactly the look I'd love to go for... What's the wheel make and sizes of wheel/tire? And just to confirm this was 5100's all the way around and that's it? Again, sweet ride.
